Re: Why Cook? Nobody Seems to Want to Eat it Anyway?
My brother the psychologist said the worst cases he sees are those with food hangups...
Anyway, see my blog under 'Kids and Saving Money' for a few more ideas.
My 6 and 8 yo's are also picky. One wants mostly protein and the other mostly bread. Ug. Many nights I put out a platter of healthy items and let them choose the item and amount. For example, make a platter of:
Seasonal fruit
Whole grain bread or crackers (not too many or all the one will eat is crackers)
Cheese (Make tiny cubes or some cute shapes, it REALLY matters)
Cut up veges (make cute shape, REALLY!)
Dips (salad dressings, peanut butter, honey, etc)
Waffle sticks (you cut your own) and syrup dip
Sliced hard boiled eggs
After awhile you will think of more items and it is a stress reliever. Easy and not time consuming to cook, not to mention you are mad they didn't appreciate your work.
